Viewing shared folders
• Select Settings, and then select Manage Music Library -> Music Library Setup.
The shared music folders that are currently accessible to your Sonos system are displayed. (If a computer on your network is
turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the music on that computer will be unavailable to the Sonos system until the
computer is turned back on.)

2. Touch next to the folder you wish to stop using, and then touch Delete. Your music folder remains untouched on
your computer, but you can no longer access it from the Sonos system.
Updating the music index
The Sonos system indexes your local music library so you can view your music collection by categories (such as artists,
albums, composers, genres, or tracks). During setup, all of your available music folders are indexed for easy selection. If you
add new music, simply update your music index to add this music to your local music library.
1. Select Settings -> Manage Music Library.
2. Touch Update Music Index Now, and then touch Scan Now.
Scheduling automatic updates
1. Select Settings -> Manage Music Library.
2. Turn on the Schedule Music Index Updates option.
3. Touch Music Index Update Time, and select the time you would like your music index to update each day.
To disable automatic music index updates, turn off the Schedule Music Index Update option.
Note: We recommend using the Sonos Controller for Mac or PC to add shared folders. For
